So it found the manpage but appeared to choke? Um, that could be
a squillion things in your environment (man man, if that works, or
look below). It might also be your man database (mandb -c to recreate
it from scratch).

I've really got no idea where to start debugging that, except for
clearing your environment and starting from scratch.

anyways, something like

zcat /usr/share/man/man3/strcmp.3.gz  | nroff -man | less

should let you see what you want right now.

Now I *really* hope *that* helps :)
